Optimisation of Temporary and Demountable Flood Protection for Infrastructure Resilience
ABSTRACT Infrastructure systems provide crucial services to human settlements. Extreme weather events, especially flooding, can disrupt these vital services. Temporary and demountable flood protections (TDFPs) are increasingly used to protect infrastructure assets and provide resilience.

How Unusual Was the Paleocene‐Eocene Thermal Maximum?
Abstract The Paleocene‐Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) was an extreme fluctuation of Earth's climate and a potential analog for future unmitigated anthropogenic climate change, but whose cause is debated. We show that fluctuations in Cenozoic benthic foraminiferal δ13 ${\delta }^{13}$C and δ18 ${\delta }^{18}$O follow a Laplace distribution. We present a

Timing of NAD Deficiency During Organogenesis Dictates Defect Type and Penetrance
Pregnant mice on a vitamin B3‐free and tryptophan‐limited diet have embryos with Congenital NAD Deficiency Disorder, characterized by malformations and/or death. We longitudinally tracked the maternal NAD metabolome, embryo growth, and malformation occurrence. Mice with lower NAD Salvage Pathway metabolite levels and minimal levels of derived excretion

A prospective hazard analysis of real‐time adaptive helical tomotherapy
Abstract Background Following the release in 2016 of the report of the American Association of Physicists in Medicine Task Group 100, there has been growing interest in the use of prospective hazard analysis in radiation therapy. System Theoretic Process Analysis (STPA) is an emerging technique in this domain that is particularly suited to processes ...
